on a 28" HD monitor

5/11/2008 6:21:08 PM

couldn't make it to 30, eh?

5/11/2008 6:53:31 PM

it also looks quite different on a 7" screen

5/11/2008 7:33:11 PM

whenever you look at a white webpage like Yahoo or Google, it lights up the whole room. I feel like I have to wear sunglasses.

So it's only 1080p? Or is it a 1920 by 1200 computer lcd? Shoulda gotten the 30" 2560 by 1600. That thing is a beast.

i just hooked up 2 24" lcds and 2 20" lcds (vertical) and it's sexy!

5/11/2008 8:50:29 PM

^wait you have 4 monitors in a vertical column?

5/11/2008 8:55:57 PM

when he says vertical - he means turned 90 degrees i imagine

^^makes more sense.

^nice. good price.

5/12/2008 2:59:53 AM

i got one of those monitors thats in the 5th floor computer lab in the old part of jordan hall...

5/12/2008 3:59:35 AM

I've been thinking about a pair of the 1920x1200 24" Samsungs, anyone have experience with those? I've heard the brightness and color aren't all there-- how bad is it really, should be fine if no image processing is involved right?

I'll post you a view of the interwebs on my dual 30" displays sometime

I was sorely disappointed- I thought this was going to be a profound discussion about routing, bgp, net neutrality, or something of the like.

You GOT to be kidding me

5/12/2008 9:27:41 PM

dual 30"s is the way to go. My 24" will have to do until i have the $$ to buy a 30".

5/13/2008 12:12:24 AM

5/13/2008 12:21:54 AM

^yeah yeah we know you're the master of multiple monitors. I still don't see any 30"s in there though.

it's planned for the end of summer after the 8k camera and 5k video camera, but before the 4k photo printer.

5/13/2008 12:24:35 AM

^^that doesn't look like a work or home desk, that looks like a shared station at work.

5/13/2008 1:49:22 AM

this is my main desk in redmond:

5/13/2008 2:08:02 AM

^I'm not gonna lie- that's pretty pimp.

I've got 2x24",1x30",1x15"macbookpro in Mtn View.
2x24" attached to my ubuntu desktop and the 30" attached to the mbp.
Running parallels between them, makes for a pretty decent setup!

5/13/2008 5:07:34 AM

^Meant to say running synergy between them- so once mouse/keyboard controls both machine making for a 4 monitor setup. Not sure why parallels came into mind.

5/13/2008 7:54:49 AM

i hate that i still have a CRT, but it's the only one with anywhere close to accurate color reproduction.

5/13/2008 10:01:43 AM

You will have to pry my diamondtron from my cold dead hands. fuck a lcd.

5/13/2008 10:07:41 AM

im using a 40" Sony Bravia XBR as my PC monitor right now

5/13/2008 10:48:42 AM

Noen are those pipe works in your pic? I think that's what they're called. I had them as a kid.

5/13/2008 4:15:57 PM

Nope, they are called Omagles

5/13/2008 4:20:22 PM

^holy shit. They're totally a rip off of pipeworks by playskool I had them as a kid and you can't find them anywhere.

I knew they'd remake those.

Not really ripoffs as Omagles are tool-less, and have external clips. Pipeworks looks much more like Quadro

And the set I have I bought from Sears Surplus when I was 5 or 6. So they are about the same age.

we used pipeworks for our OM project in middle school. hooked up an electric motor to them and everything.

5/13/2008 4:47:58 PM

[sour grapes]You people and your LCD monitors.[/sour grapes]

When I decided that I was going to use my CRT until it kicked the bucket, I didn't quite plan on it lasting this long... (still using the non-flat 19" CRT, Gateway VX900 i.e. Hitachi CM751U that I got freshman year, late 1998...)

5/13/2008 4:55:05 PM

There's still merit in using crts. I have a viewsonic flatscreen 19". I know photographers who insist on using them.

I also can't convince my roommate to go widescreen. He still insists 3-4 4:3 19"s are better than 4 16:10 24-30"s for programming. He works at cisco and they just gave him a 22" to use and he likes it. He only likes putting one window per screen though.

I think I'm gonna grab another video card, another 19/20" and another 24" lcd
something like

          [--24"--]
     [19"][--24"--][19"]
            [kb][m]
